To the north of the walled mountains, dragons ride the wind and fly in the bright moonlight. It leaped past the wolf cavalry of the orcs, over the vast expanse of the land, and pulsed towards the black mountain that stood in front of it.

It had long since noticed that there was someone watching on the mountain peak—the light reflected from the telescope's crystal lenses from time to time revealed the location of the scouts.

It seems that humans are not too stupid, not only to guard against the orcs, but also to leave sentinels, but what can actually be used? human weapons can't hurt dragons, and those iron armor is like paper paste in front of the claws, but it can add some flavor when eating. Thinking of the taste of chewing after the corrosion of metal and flesh made me hungry and longed to stop and find something to eat. But it's not free, it's a task, and it can't stay.

The black dragon shook his head and moved his stiff neck. It felt very bad to ride on something, and the undead energy emanating from under the golden armor made it uncomfortable, but it could only endure it - it was a difficulty that had to be overcome to complete its mission.

Because on him, the Dragonbinding Charm continues to work in a unique way.

In the distant past, the mage created this spell to deal with the dragon's threat, but the dragon and the mage forbade the use of the spell as the battle resulted in more losses than both sides could bear. The Knox Commons have improved the Dragonbinding Charm so that it uses the "Death Knight" as a carrier and indirectly applies to dragons. In this way, the dragon is no longer the target of the Dragonbinding Spell, and the detection spell set on the Dragon Mountain will not be triggered.

As long as it lasts long enough, the Dragonbinding Charm on the Death Knight will affect the dragon's mind, just like the hypnotic effect of the Circle of Tranquility. Take control gradually. The dragon will be a faithful mount. Just like knights allegiance to lords. Go to the soup and fire, not afraid of death. However, this improved spell can only be endured and used by the Death Knight, and can only control one dragon at a time.

The Knox Fellows consider this spell to be their outstanding contribution to the cause of magic, but aren't they the ones who are the best of the Golf Plasma Skeletons, the "Death Knights" who can endure spatial teleportation spells and adapt to the laws of magic in the new world, are the true improvers of the Dragonbinder Spell.

The Death Knight is directly accountable to the Juggernaut Consciousness and has never been a subordinate of the Knox Guild. But in every world, there is a disguise of dominance. For example, the Red God or the Doomsday Prophet. They will use an organization more familiar with the local situation as a cover, and order the Death Knight to cooperate, just as the Black Dragon Knight obeyed the order of the Knox Guild.

Waterdeep City is in a hurry, and the elves have completed the siege of the city and are preparing an offensive. Archmage Casper and the sages of the Federation finally understood the role of the super-large magic circle outside the city: it began to gradually gather the elemental energy around it, and even produced the basic elements by breaking down various inanimate matter. All energy has only one purpose, which is to create elemental surges.

Elemental surges are lethal to all magic effects and spellcasters. If a mage in a dead magic area will starve to death, then a surge will kill anyone and anything that can absorb elemental power. Even the Hidden Shadow Circle of the Three Peaks Pagoda could only last for a short time before it would burn out due to too much energy. Other magic shields only last for a short period of time, and the result does not change.

Mages have known about the existence of elemental surges for a long time. And fascinated by its power. For a long time, there was no desire to reproduce and control it, but simply gathering energy would not reach the level needed to start a surge - even Siegel's energy-focusing lens was far from it. After a long period of research, the elven elementalists have finally discovered ways to break down matter, such as turning rock into earth or ice into water.

Unlike extracting elemental power from objects, the dismantling of the elves completely annihilates the target, resulting in an "extra" and "massive" amount of spell raw materials that meet the prerequisites for surges. The effect of this decomposition is similar to that of the Wall of Storms, which is close to the power of the gods. If it weren't for the enraged attack of Knox's wraiths, the elves wouldn't have made up their minds to use this circle to destroy the Tri-Peaks Tower.

If he could stop the elves from building a magic circle from the Three-Peaks Tower, Casper would have done it a long time ago. Unfortunately, the elves had anticipated this for a long time, and had arranged for manpower in advance to counter spell attacks from the Tri-Peaks Tower, and ambush any mages who dared to leave the protective barrier.

The armies of the Masked Lords' Council have also tried several times to cover the actions of the "Federation" mages, but to no avail other than causing part of the walls to fall. Later, the elves adopted harassment tactics, randomly attacking a certain section of the city wall with bows and arrows and siege crossbows, so that the human defenders did not dare to act rashly, and the masked lords' council did not dare to divide the army.

Caspar then summoned the Death Dragon Knights and ordered them to lead the orc army under their control and come to their aid immediately.

The black dragon glided on the wind and had already flown thousands of miles. The white dragon, which was relatively weaker, had already landed on the ground, eating the live cattle caught by the wolf cavalry and recovering his strength. The black dragon swallowed, reminding himself to keep the "mission" in mind, determined to move forward all night, and must know the specifics of those scouts and defenders.

The closer he got to the Walls Mountains, the more he felt that something was wrong. The surrounding energy became unresponsive, and the elements that held up its huge body became disordered, and it had to constantly adjust its posture. After a while, it was no longer able to keep gliding, and could only flap its wings as hard as a bird to stay in the air.

The violent jolt affected the knight, but not enough to make him fall. He clamped the black dragon's neck with his legs, and then patted it vigorously with his claws with the lobster's gauntlet, reminding the black dragon to be careful.

The dwarves' forbidden rune array became stronger and stronger, and a whirlpool formed by air and water elements appeared in the air, and there were "big holes" in many places that completely lost air buoyancy. The two black dragons basically lost control of their body postures, rolling in the sky as if they were drunk, constantly falling and falling.

They folded their wings, swooped - or fell - down, and landed on the black ground with a thud. The dragon's claws crushed the rocks, and the massive dragon's tail slammed against the mountain walls, turning everything to splinters in rage.

The dwarven city walls, mountains, and rune forbidden formations frustrated the arrogant dragons and ignited their anger. The dragon spews acid that melts the rocks on the mountain wall, causing a landslide. The earth rolled up huge boulders and slid down from a great height, flooding the passage up the mountain.

"That's enough!" the Death Knight raised his black mace and struck the black dragon hard at the back of the neck. With a dull thud, the dragon's entire body went down.

"Black Dragon, start climbing!" he said contemptuously, "if you don't want to, I'll let you carve out a passage here like a dog to make a way for the orc army, what do you think?"

"Don't think!" the black dragon shook its neck, then flapped its wings to assist him in climbing the mountain.

Its neck still hurts, and its head is buzzing. He was still angry, and he wanted to continue destroying the cliff and bury the entire passage under the collapse. The black dragon narrowed his eyes, and the doubt in his heart flashed away - why did he have such an idea of going against his mission?

The momentary hesitation made the black dragon even angrier, and he didn't know the origin of the anger. It's all to blame on the group of people on the top of the mountain who scouted them with lenses, they forced them to hurry up the road, and they needed to get up the mountain before the army.

Seeing my heroic appearance, those little bugs should have scared them away, right? The black dragon was a little annoyed. What if there is no enemy for him to kill and vent, and what if his growing anger swells?

With this in mind, it crawled and jumped along the mountain road.

The Black Blood Castle is ready, quietly waiting for the arrival of the dragon. All the scouts were withdrawn to the castle and hidden in the safe and secure mountain warehouse. The only ones left outside were the crossbowmen, and the people in charge of handling the heavy ballistas.

"Kerry, the situation is in our favor. Siegel said, "Thanks to the dwarves, if it weren't for the rune array that limited the dragon's ability to move, this battle would have been very difficult. ”

The giant shook his head, disagreeing with him. "Siegel, do you know what our tribe has been doing since the Red Dragon attacked?"

"Recuperation, development?"

"No, we think about revenge every day!" Kerry smiled, trembling with excitement. "I will never forget the night the fire burned, when my fellow tribesmen were like sheep on a campfire. Our hearts are full of pain, but under the pain is tenfold, hundredfold hatred. ”

"The grassland is vast, there is no shelter, we are on horseback, and we can't fly, and it is very difficult to kill the dragon, but this is not a reason to let go of hatred. All the warriors were thinking - you know it wasn't easy for us - how to fight the dragon. ”

"It's not enough to have the courage in our hearts, the muscles in our bodies and the weapons in our hands, we need something more. Remember when I liked to look at trebuchets, ballistas, and all kinds of siege equipment, and what I learned from the dwarves under the Dragon Lion Cliff?"

"Slaying the dragon, it may be your idea on the fly, or it may be that you have been planning it for months. But for us in the Raven Tribe, it's been since the day the red dragon appeared! ”

"Siegel, I don't want to ask for anything else, can you let me command this operation?

Looking into Kerry's determined eyes, Siegel agreed without hesitation. His orders spread throughout the castle with the power of the spell, and every soldier could hear them.

"Now, I hand over the command of the Black Blood Castle to Kree, and all the soldiers of the Heim Territory obey the order and cooperate with the warriors of the Raven tribe in battle!"

Afterwards, Siegel handed a chained runestone to Kerry and asked him to wear it around his neck. "As long as you shout loudly, your voice can be heard throughout the castle, and it will be much easier to command. I'll help you suppress the dragon's magical abilities as much as possible, and reduce the threat of acid and ice to everyone. ”

Kerry nodded, and his first order was given: "Open the crate and equip the chain throwing gun!" (To be continued.) )
